When is it Okay for an American to Eat McDonald’s in Italy?

Alright, so it wasn’t great. Surprise. The beef is better – not as greasy, the bun was better, the sauce was good, but McDonald’s is really about sustaining life without going broke, not enjoying your food.

So far, McDonald’s is McDonald’s no matter where you are, although I’ll argue that the food quality is a bit better in Europe from my experience. More expensive, of course. No “Euro Menu” and a much smaller selection, but it’s one of the few places with free wifi and free bathroom so far.
